You always adjust numbers and it will be before the element
so you Neva add or change a subscript
Answer:
5.18.
Explanation:
<em>∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
</em>
[OH⁻] = 1.5 x 10⁻⁹ M.
∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/(1.5 x 10⁻⁹ M) = 6.66 × 10⁻⁶ M.
∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]
<em>∴ pH = - log(6.66 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.176 ≅ 5.18.</em>
